Well, as much as I hate to say it, the aggressive "ricer" kits are the more popular kits among what my shop offers. I look at these things and I think "late 90's". The new style is a clean, simple, European-looking body. The Blitz-, Aggressor-, and Bomb-type kits out there look so damn gaudy, but I'm constantly being surprised when I whip out the Wings West books and customers tell me how "boring" they look. "Where's the iron-maiden spiked front facias and F1 rear wings?" they ask. I'm not just talking about Civic and Eclipse owners here, either. Many Mustang and Camaro guys want the aggressive Jap look too.
The fact is, people want their cars to be eye-popping, head turning things of, er, beauty. So the farther from stock-looking the better, right? That's all I can figure. Apron kits are not appealing to most people who come into my shop. The idea of spending a couple G's and still keeping that facory bumper on their ride isn't acceptable. It better look like a mutant Samurai on steroids mobile or they don't want it. James Bond look isn't back yet, Ghengis Khan look is here to stay for a while more.
